when did you do your baby shower?

After yall ladies found out what the sex of the baby was how long after did you or your family throw a baby shower? My DH family wants to throw one after we find out on tuesdays what we are haven. But I'm not sure when we should throw one. I am 5 months.

Most people do it late in their pregnancies. I'm having a gender reveal Sunday and I'll be 26 weeks, and I found out at 17 weeks what I was having. Only reason I'm having it so early is because people are so impatient to find out the gender.

My family is very supersticious so they wouldn't do it until after baby was born. My aunt hosted my shower when DD was about 1 month old. It was fun because it was the first time most people met her.

For baby #2 I am not having a shower but I will be having a meet-the-baby party which will be more of a casual open house. I am hosting it myself because I am more centrally located but there will be no presents.
